It seemed like they were just blocking them. Are you meant to manually aim? I can't see that happening with how much they move around and throw projectiles at you.

Bow and arrow if my memory is correct

For the Vita, I had to disable the touchscreen aiming. Once you do that, you have to work your way as far away from them as possible and fire a couple of arrows at them and then move before they get too close. Repeat. Eventually they fall off. Run up to them, slice them up, and work on other horsemen.

There's 34 chapters in total...
I finished my second play-through on Normal yesterday. I finished all the Treasures collections (Jade and Turquoise glyphs, Minor Dieties and the Menagerie animals) and all the Mysteries (found items, charcoal rubbings, photos, etc.). The only trophies I have left to get are those for collecting all the bounties - which I might manage, thanks to the Black Market - and a bunch of the combat ones that I know I'll never get because the combat just doesn't interest me at all except as a means to get to the next puzzle or mystery... I guess I'll do one more playthrough at the hardest difficulty and call it done, but I know I won't platinum it... it's too bad; I'm kind of disappointed that getting 100% in all the collections didn't get me atleast a Silver or Gold Trophy acknowledging it - seems to me it's a bit harder finding all those damned Jade glyphs than getting 50 headshots or 20 stealth kills or whatever...

I indeed looked at the download list, those were the only free ones I saw, the others are locked to the PSPGo. Of the ones I bought Capcom Classics Collection Remixed, Modnation Racers, Little Big Planet, 4x4 Jam, Pinball Dreams and Aero Racer work.
The Loco Roco Demo downloads, but I don't see it on the home screen.
Yeah, I've spend more time with wipeout than any other game. Even after accidentally deleting my save and Online completely failing, I'm still coming back for more.
Going horribly OT here - but not if you were a Personal Computer gamer.dark10x said:
8bit machines - you were lucky to see 20fps most of the time(and 5-20minute loading times). IBM PCs - even worse. Sure there were some exceptions like Amiga, but even that had a big share of low framerate games.
God I feel old now.
But I do agree with you - the reason 3d graphic acceleration was such a revelation on PC wasn't the gaudy overuse of colored lights and blurry texture filtering - it was the framerate jump from unstable 15-something to stable 60.
On topic: Does anyone know if PSN version of PSP Katamari works on Vita (it's not on official list, obviously)? I just realized that it can be mapped to dual-stick controls on Vita, so I'd gladly re-play it on there.
Yeah, it could of done with a couple more months in the oven, but its still awesome, hopefully they fix it up when the DLC hits.

I noticed now that stats arent counted if you quit the game (at least the Vita version). I usually quit when i die, so i've probably played it closer to 13-15 hours i guess.
I sent you PM =)
It doesn't matter for me. That's all that matters for me.
It doesn't make the game less enjoyable or worse at all. Slowdowns on the other hand kills the game for me.
Be careful what you wish for.
Ah ha, I was also into PC games back then as well and, you're right, it was pretty awful. I was always looking for games that pushed console levels of performance but they were few and far between. As impressive as games like Doom could be, I always knew that the PC would struggle to deliver a perfect 60 fps for side scrolling games even on my 486dx2/66 (which was decent by earlier 90s standards).
Even when 3D acceleration came into play, 60 fps was difficult to hit. I certainly wasn't seeing that in most games on my Voodoo cards. Was always envious of Sega Model 2 and 3 arcade games during that time. The appearance of arcade quality 60 fps games is one of the reasons I was initially so hyped for Dreamcast!
The only thing bothering me with the Vita (besides OLED not being much of an OLED, but yeah)... It has to happen in a future update.

Am I the only one finding Little Deviants gameplay awful? I can't control shit and always end up on a corner.
I was really on the fence buying a Vita.
So a buddy came at my house yesterday, he bought it with UMVC3 the same day.
I tried it, mother of god this thing is fuuuuuuuuucking attractive, dat OLED, dat graphics, dat UMVC3 looking exactly like console version at 60FPS. The potential for awesome games is large.
Getting one tonight. Thread's name is so accurate its scary.

They must appear in your download history.
It pisses me off that I have to wait 30 days to get my copy via the 3G promotion. I don't even want to activate the 3G right now because there's so little to do with it. God know when I'll actually get to play Stardust.

OLED not being much of an OLED???
I couldnt even stand having the Demo on my system after trying it. So bad.

Finally got around to reviewing Virtua Tennis 4 World Tour Edition. This is seriously one of the biggest surprises for me in the launch line-up.

I'm actually a fan of the way they've handled this stuff. I guess it would be a good idea for the system to show a tiny ! over the bubble that's currently inserted though.
The "Live Page" area is actually something I've wanted for a long time. It's awesome because each page has a Facebook like feed of what you and your friends have done in that game. It also allows you to download updates to the game at any time. I'm a big fan of the attractive and slick nature to this interface they've created.
Well, I suppose 1 in 5 isn't bad I suppose. But with the 3G deal in the EU being the best one out of the EU/US/Japan (in my opinion) I'm a little surprised it's not a little higher.
I mean, in the EU, we got Wipeout for free if we topped up £5 and we got it straight away and it's unlocked. In the US they got Super Stardust and en extra month of 3G, but they only get SSD after 30 days and they are locked to ATT, and in Japan they got some free 3G but no games and they are locked to Docomo.
I suppose the 3G FEB in the US will help push higher numbers for that version there.
Thanks.
As I don't own a PSP go anymore and didn't download half the games at the time, will it work if I download them through media Go so they show in my download history on the store?
Look on the case, that will tell you if the game requires a memory card or saves to the cartridge.
This is just speculation. But you'll probably have to buy the game and install it from PSN before selling the physical cart. If you remove the bubble from the home screen it's going to delete the saved data.

Curious about Dragon's Crown. I know it's going to be playable on both PS3 and Vita. Does this mean we will pay for one copy and can use it on both? Seems silly to have to buy it twice.
What are people saying about Unit 13? Because I honestly thought the demo was shit. The touch controls are exactly what I don't want out of these types of games. Also, I can tell from the dialog that the writing is going to be shit. The camera is also way to close to the back of the character for my liking.

Yeah, I thought the demo was garbage too.
Not many games are doing this. I don't expect it to catch on, but I would like some sort of combo pack at a reduced price.
I wouldn't expect to buy a game on vita and get it on ps3. That seems silly to me.

Unit 13 has Zipper all over it, I'm afraid.
I have confidence in more competent shooter developers.

What I meant was that the color reproduction and black levels are almost worse than on my TN TFT LCD monitor. And the battery doesn't even last 4 hours of gameplay with Flight Mode on and the brightness being on its lowest level.

The game is 30 dollars on the Vita and on the Playstation 3. I am not sure what more you want. I don't think you will be able to use one copy for both platforms.

In all fairness, neither do its competitors.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
That's fair. I'll probably get Hot Shots and Super Stardust Delta and call it a day.
The Vita and PS3 versions of DC together are $60.
I played hot shots golf for 5 hours in lowest brightness.

well to be fair, the actual shooting is much better than say Golden Abyss

Well I've read that the save data is transferrable between both systems, and both versions are identical. Just didn't know if you had to buy it on both. I'll probably only get it on PS3 if you have to buy both.

Sony is promoting the Vita with MLB 12 cross play with PS3 and yet with little over a week to go for release, there is zero info on bundles, on how it all works, and on a demo. Sony marketing truly baffles me at times.
MarshMellow96
Member
Definitely. But then there's the rest of it.
Shinobido 2 is a lot of fun so far, not like IGN hasn't been wrong before...I have Hot Shots also so I'm just here to confuse you I guess.
It just means sony's ad agency needs to be fired.
Are you off your tits?
Yeah, curious about this also as I've already paid for MLB Vita, I feel like if you buy the Vita version you get a gimped PS3 version, and if you buy the PS3 you get the regular Vita version, but that is pure guesstimation.
